Flexure assemblies include steel plates or pieces of metal material that are rigid in at least one direction but flexible in at least one other direction. One arrangement of components provides a flexure assembly that is intended to permit linear motion along an axis while preventing off-axis motion. Another arrangement of components permits rotary or pivotal motion about an axis within a limited range while preventing off-axis motion. All arrangements provide a frictionless and noiseless support arrangement that is well suited for test equipment where noise sensitivity and accuracy are of concern. The invention provides a testing device that permits test forces to be input directly to a vehicle body structure for testing vehicle squeak and rattle noises within a vehicle interior.
